Miley Cyrus Reveals Why She Always Sticks Her Tongue Out

Miley Cyrus revealed to Barbara Walters why she always sticks that gross tongue out. Remember that time she licked all her makeup off? “I get embarrassed to take pictures. That’s actually the truth,” she said. I believe it. To be honest it’s why I tend to throw up gang signs or duckfaces whenever I am photographed. I just don’t know what else to do.

Miley was interviewed for Barbara Walters: 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013. “I’m so embarrassed, because people are taking pictures of me, and I just don’t know how to– I don’t know how to smile, and just be awkward, so I stick my tongue out, because I don’t know what else to do,” she said.

When asked what she thought of critics saying she is desperate Miley responded with, “I know I’m not, so that’s why I just kind of laugh. I refuse to Google myself. The minute I stopped Googling myself, you don’t imagine what a happier person I am.”
